Family & Friends

Do you have that person that you can't help but disappoint?

I guess I think too highly of myself. I've tried to be a good child. I'm 3 years ahead in school... I'm helpful and I keep the house clean, I try to help my parents with anything they need yet I feel like I'm discredited.

Simple things like trying to tell mom about her alarm going off she says "I can hear, I have ears." but to my little brother she says "Thank you baby boy. You can cut it off for me." Like what? It's confusing. She is never excited to talk to me, she always talks down on me and I'm getting so sick of it. My dad is out 12-14 hours a day working on movie sets and he's like my best friend. I could be in trouble and he's never acting like mom. I've been trying so hard lately. There's never a dish in the sink, the floors get swept and mopped everyday. I haveen't gotten caught doing anything wrong in months yet she does this. She treats my sibilings better than me and recently I've just felt so frustrated trying to reach her standards.

Plus my little brother bullies me all day and when I talk to her about it she gets mad at me because apparently I was wrong for saying anything. But then when he gets mad that I'm not letting him do something like use my personal laptop she tells him to tell me either to come here so she can say "I'm going to whip your behind if you don't share." or she tells him to tell me that she said that.

It might be something on my part but it's getting tough. I haven't wanted to say anything because there's no point... but sometimes it helps to get things off my chest so here it is.
